Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has defended the club's policy of loaning out so many of their younger players...

And says they should have more patience in earning a first team place at Stamford Bridge.

Sometimes I think the young players lose their patience very quickly.

A lot of the time because of parents or the people around them. I think the advisers aren’t right.

The first thing they should have is good patience. Trust the club. Then work very hard to know that to play at this level you must be stronger - and very good. Sometimes, young players think they can play easily in the first team, but that’s not true. I have to pick 11 players. Not only me, every coach.

Warburton on Darikwa

We were looking for an attack-minded full-back and someone who is comfortable there and a wider role and Tendayi fits that. He is an athlete, he has a physicality and he has been playing at a higher level and is another very good acquisition to strengthen the squad in what is a key position for us.

We’re going to be launching a new Forest podcast in the next week or so, and during the course of the season, we’ll be looking for fans to come and join us to take part.

Mark Warburton has again spoken about the importance of squad depth and versatility, after making Tendayi Darikwa Nottingham Forest’s fifth signing of the summer last night.

The Reds are closing in on a sixth new addition, in the form of a midfielder - expected to be Gary Gardner, who the club are targeting for a permanent move to the City Ground, following his two previous loan spells with the Championship club.
